The circular economy for chemicals focuses on designing, producing, using, and recycling chemical products in a way that minimizes waste, maximizes resource efficiency, and reduces environmental impact. Unlike the traditional linear “take–make–dispose” model, circular chemical systems emphasize reuse, recycling, recovery, and regeneration of materials. This approach integrates sustainable feedstocks, closed-loop production, chemical recycling, and waste-to-chemical technologies. Increasing regulatory pressure, sustainability commitments, and the need to decarbonize the chemical industry are driving the adoption of circular economy principles across global chemical value chains.
